I have an addiction to the minor 6th interval. There, I said it. For years I've found myself drawn to a particular minor key change which has transcended a lot of the music I listen to and compose. It has been used in some of the best known songs from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Blue Oyster Cult and Guns 'n' Roses, right through to the likes of Bros, Roxette, Seal and even film and TV soundtracks. The genre doesn't matter - the appeal for me has been the common chord change interval.

If you're musical, you would be familiar with the sound of E Minor to C Major, or A Minor to F Major, for example. This is the change I'm talking about.

But enough of the writing, let's delve in! After a quick flick over my music library the following immediately jumped out as exemplars - some you may know well, others you'll hear for the first time. But they all have that common interval - the minor 6th. Enjoy!

Note that if the chord change happens part way through the song, a reference to it's starting time appears above the video.
